gerry_szarek Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Good afternoon, I am looking for a recommendation for a high speed color negative film. I will be shooting my Hexar RF with a 35F1.4 (I suspect wide open) in the following locations using available light. Pictures of the kids in the train, getting on / off the train, in the "theatre" at the north pole, etc. What is a good film to get in the 1600 or 800 ISO range? In addition to the RF I will be taking the 10D with the 17-40F4 and a 50mm F1.4 with a 420EX flash unit (it works but just doesn't capture the mood). Thanks!

brambor Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Gerry. If for some reason you need to cancel this trip then give me a shout. I would love to bring my kids to the train but I have heard that it is hopelesly sold out every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 NPZ 800 is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_hintlian1 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Gerry... I would not hesitate recommending using Fuji 1600...shoot at 800 and process normally, it is an amazing consumer film. Best, MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_werbeloff1 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Fuji NPZ 800 is fantastic film. I rate it at 650 and still have plenty of wiggle room with low light conditions. I've also had very good luck with Fuji 1600 rated at 1250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerry_szarek Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Thanks for the responses, Fuji it shall be. Rene it took 4 years of lottery trying before we hit the jackpot, I will send you an email with some ideas. Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambor Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 same here. Bought Fuji NPZ 800 yesterday and stuffed it into my Konica Autoreflex T1 (M6 has Tri-X right now) and rated it at 650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
